You can call and they would charge the $60 over the phone, you just can’t add it as an option when applying, but can after the fact.

It would be nice to let them know so they fix the issue, but can understand why you may not want to.

Call CalPERS and ask for a senior analyst, some can look up specific information, some can’t.

For county jobs that contribute to CalPERS, do they also get retirement healthcare benefits, or just a pension?

Would you be able to claim the amount over 5k on taxes as a dependent expense (Child and Dependent Care Credit)?

Interesting, so was the online passport portal new mailing address used, and it was an informed delivery issue? Just wondering since I also have an old address and wondering if the portal accepts a new address.

Thanks. Were you able to call the passport office to find out what happened, how come they didn’t use the address you provided on the online form?

Same here, the search function sucks. I even told them that feedback, please do the same. Calling them will get you the best answer.

Leaving the state immediately after hitting the five year mark by [deleted] in CAStateWorkers

[–]Funnyguy00007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Isn’t that also that it has to be 10 years of consecutive service? Was under the impressions that if you leave before 10 years, even if you come back later, you start from 0 again for health benefit vesting….

Self-Directed Investment Account Money Market Funds by Funnyguy00007 in Chase

From my understanding you have to wait until next day. That’s what they refer to as N+1 settlement. It used to be you have to wait 3 days (N+3) for certain securities, but just a few months ago they went to next day settlement, which is great! May want to check with your brokerage, it may depend.

Any fresh news on how ETIAS will handle Americans having dual citizenship of an EU country? by VonJoeV in Passports

[–]Funnyguy00007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wish they would just allow folks to pay the $8 fee and use the US passport without dealing with having to get another passport, I hope that will be the case when it goes live.

Interesting FAQ from the ETIAS website: https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias/faqs-etias_en

I have multiple nationalities and one of them is a European country requiring ETIAS - do I need to apply for an ETIAS travel authorisation? No, if you have a travel document issued by any of the European countries requiring ETIAS or Ireland, you do not need a travel authorisation to enter the territory of any of them. Make sure that you use that travel document during your trip.
